    I was wondering what courier company would be the best to use these days for ebay seller?
    By an Post, to send to UK 0.5kg parcel registered -23eur, standard-18.25eur
    Seems too expensive, when value of parcel is 25eur

    if you are going to be sending a few items a day or even if you could try just 2 dispatches a week to get greater volume, Fastway are very well priced and will collect from your house. My dads company uses them a fair bit for sending products and it works really well, havent tried them myself but certainly for receiving stuff they are very fast. www.fastway.ie they have the rates on their site!

    hi goeast,

    im having the exact same problem. the best I can find is fastway where you need to buy five satchels at a time. then you will get courier to the UK for €20 plus vat which I still think is quite expensive. I am sending the same weight parcel as you. The price of the courier is more expensive than the item I wish to send.

    If you find a good competitive quote please let us know...

    If you have to send parcels to the UK, Parcel2Gouse nightline as the courier to deliver to England for 11.37+VAT. It's a bit of a strange one as it's cheaper to send something to the Uk than it is to send something in Ireland using nightline. For Ireland to Ireland delivery fastway seem to be competitive.

    Just be advised with NightLine on Parcel2Go.. Their prohibited items list, is longer than my arm.
